Archive Photo of the Day: Columns

During a visit to Washington D.C. in April 2008, Kelli and I got caught in thunderstorm and took refuge in the Jefferson Memorial. I passed the time by taking pictures through the columns at the scenery beyond. These were in color, of course, but so many of them look even better in black and white, with the strong lines of the columns and monuments and the texture of the marble.

Here's another picture from the same set in a similar style, from the porch of the Supreme Court.

the soul in man is not an organ, but animates and exercises all the organs; is not a function, like the power of memory, of calculation, of comparison, but uses these as hands and feet; is not a faculty, but a light; is not the intellect or the will, but the master of the intellect and the will; is the background of our being, in which they lie, — an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed. From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.
